Picture the scene... its a lazy Sunday afternoon an you are out in the garden lounging in the sun, your team won on saturday an you had a great night out, the barbie is just heating up an next to you is your beautiful girlfriend/boyfriend/other. You need the perfect music to fit the scene so you go to your album rack...

The Eminem Show... nah maybe not.

whats the story morning glory... not right an it still skips on wonderwall.

The Hearsay Album... what the f*ck.

Anyway this album is perfect for that or sitting in the bath after a crap day at work or after a night out an that crap realisation nothing is good on tv at 4am..... I would struggle to name many songs on it, you are never going to sing along but its just great. She has an Ella Fitzgerald-esqe tone to her voice and if anyone moans about artists not writing all their songs forget the Elvis example norah is here. Anyway i'm stopping now before i turn into a woman or worse eddie. Buy it.

It is in deed a good album and as I said before no single tracks stand out but as a whole album it's great. Perfect for a late nigt lie in bed with that playing in the background.

As Gaspode said I have to agree there are no real sing-a-long songs on the album but thats doesn't stop it from being great.

As far as I know I've never heard anything by Norah Jones and to be honest I'm not sure I want to.

Hey folks... long time no post in here eh? My last review is still on the first page despite it being a fair while ago. I figured this was as good a place as any to talk about Norah Jones's latest album.

For years there has been caterwalling female singers... Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Huston, Alison Moyet... but now we have a bevy (I belive that is the collective noun) of beautiful voiced and attractive female singers.

To name a few we have; Dido, Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Alicia Keys and Jamie Cullum (ok he isn't attractive but he is a f*ckin' woman). Anyway, I have no problem at all with this music although the albums are interchangeable. I could listen to any one of these artists for that very specific reflective/melancholic/bored witless mood that quite often happens at 1am when you can't be arsed to sleep.

I would pick out Norah Jones as the classiest of these artists with, for me, the voice I'd most spend £9.56 on. But I'd still shag Katie Melua first.

i wouldnt put alison moyet in the category of caterwauling, her latest album was melancholy.

i do wish that anastascia would shut up.
